leave it to deever

Just Chol and that's probably about it. Who gets him? I think this game will be won in the middle and as usual our Python like backline.

Love to see a big game from Sparrow.

Looking at some stats. Hawks marks inside 50 for their only game is 19 compared to 8.5 for our two. We know it's been area we've struggled, but I'm confident our backline won't concede anywhere near that number as well. It's why Goody is keen to get Petty up and about bout.

I wonder if it's reciprocal?

Good call. They were the main offenders. Although these days it seems that all teams supporters do this. Except of course us.

Milk shaken......not stirred.

To all the statisticians here, I'm just wondering if a team has comeback from zero and four to win a flag? (Hoping very much for the lions on their home turf next Thursday, to crush the filth). Thanks. And if they have, what is the magic number thus far, required for exclusion from a flag? Let's not forget that the Pies were a good side last year but hardly a spectacular one. Good start to the season but tired significantly towards the end and then just scraped through ALL their finals.

I wonder if you can get by the red roosta drive thru?

It worked for Oliver.

Could only be one person. Gawn..... Max Gawn.

A draw?

It will be very interesting how he's slotted back in today. After last week's performance, I'm feeling more confident. But it's early in the season. If last year told us anything, it is was a very close comp and teams must be at their best. I don't believe in regulation wins so much but I think we have this. Dees by 34.

There are some funny goal kicking rituals but Cameron's squeezing the footy is up there with the strangest.

From ten years ago.

Hard to see the Crows winning this. Cats fwds way too strong. I wish our talls would last as long as Hawkins at 36 this year.

Great pic WcW. Love your work. The pies supporters abbacus.

I didn't get all the pre season talk about Crows being contenders. They may get up tonight but they don't look convincing to me.

When will Milkshake be realistically back? Bowser is one tough player.

Should we get a couple more cameras and just get rid of goal umps?

Hawkins still a quality big fwd and about to turn 36.

Cats looking far better. Doh.

Oliver looks bigger this year.

Sure the Pies had a bumper start to the season last year but they fell away at the end. In reality they just snuck home with three iffy finals including the gf. They beat us in a final by 7 points when we had an absolutely depleted fwd line and were a man down. Just beat Gws by a point. And we're lucky in the Gf with the soft advantage call and just snuck home again by a kick. They were not a glorious flag team by any standard. Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done. Pies won't make top four and rightly so.

The umpiring standard was horrendous and it's the first time I enjoyed it. And if any Pies fan should stumble upon this post..... That goal from the boundary line ....the ball was definitely out of bounds.

The penny just dropped what droves actually means.
